New DirecTv Service Problems

Ok so I switched from Comcast to directv and I am so far a little disappointed.

Maybe you can help with my numerous problems.

My 1st problem

Internet is constantly droping .. I have Ethernet right next the hr34 and my 1 other client however it is hooked up to a deka cinema connection kit. this thing when touched or move is horrible. I lose connection the thing is off then I go behind the tv twist the deka and its back on?

I have 2 hr24 and I don't use the Ethernet port to connect them. It goes from the coax cable right to the deca adapter then the deca goes thru Ethernet to my router. It works perfectly in both receivers and never gave me a problem

In your case the DECA adapter is the Cinema Connection Kit that bridges the Ethernet of your home network to the coax network of your receivers. Your HR24 receivers have built-in DECA adapters to split the network signal back out from the satellite signal on the coax network.

In the OP's case, he has an HR34. The HR34 can act as bridge between the ethernet network and the coax network. Thus, the OP does not actually need the CCK installed on their network.
